3 things I enjoyed learning about

  1. Learning the ins and outs of GitHub has been a game changer.
  2. Specifically, I’m relieved to understand how to build an organized repository, for my personal research life, and for the process of publication.
  3. I’m also excited to try Rmarkdown to publish a paper.

Course topics

3 things I want to learn more about

  1. Code review: I think it would be cool to have this as a group assignment. Just a thought. Might not fit with the class structure though.
  2. Package creation: I heard once that you should make your paper into a package. Is this a good idea? Or even really necessary?
  3. Rmarkdown. But I think this will just take practice.
